It is frightening to hear about deaths nearby. We all need to pray daily.

Children smiling, laughing, parents riding bikes with their families, and lots of bird calls. It is a welcomed relief after the dreary weather we've had. Perhaps, spring will bring a new tone to our conversations. Our Gov. Cuoma provided a calm. affirming message to the people this afternoon.

We included Teddy so the boys could see ech other. I didn't have to have Grandpa holding the phone. I could hold the book and read. And I figured it out all by myself. Lots of new tech learning going on these days!

No problem-I just found it so I feel reassured that I can spell your name correctly and find you in the future. Thank you for commenting on my poem. The chat went so well that it was a pleasure to write this poem. It was just tricky to find the right quotes and place them in the right spots. We all need to move forward.
